Please accept my deepest sympathies for the passing of your son. I can't even imagine what you are going through. I have been praying to St. Jude for you to find the strength to get through this difficult time. I didn't know Gilbert very well, but I remember when you were pregnant with him. He was such a sweet young boy and it seems from the FB posts that you shared, that he was a wonderful young man. May God bless you all and may Gilbert rest in peace.

Gilbert Vidaurri meant so much to me. He was my only sibling. I looked up to him because he always knew everything about history (just like our father).
